Introduction

There’s something beautifully effortless about “Carried Away.” It’s one of those songs that feels like a soft breeze on a summer evening — gentle, warm, and full of feeling. George Strait sings it with the kind of grace that only he can pull off, where every word sounds both romantic and honest, never overdone, never forced.

At its heart, the song is about losing yourself in love — that tender moment when logic doesn’t stand a chance against emotion. The lyrics don’t try to complicate it; they just let the feeling take center stage. And George’s voice, calm yet full of quiet passion, carries that emotion perfectly. You can hear the sincerity in every line — a man caught between restraint and pure devotion.

What makes “Carried Away” so special is how timeless it feels. It’s not about grand gestures or heartbreak; it’s about the beauty of simply feeling too much. That’s why the song still resonates today — because we’ve all been there, swept up by someone who makes us forget the world for a moment.

It’s George Strait at his best — pure, understated, and real. The kind of country song that doesn’t need to shout to be unforgettable.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don’t take my whiskey to extremes
Don’t believe in chasing crazy dreams
My feet are planted firmly on the ground
But darling when you come around

[Chorus]
I get carried away by the look by the light in your eyes
Before I even realize the ride I’m on baby I’m long gone
I get carried away nothing matters but being with you
Like a feather flying high up in the sky on a windy day, I get carried away

[Verse 2]
It might seem like an ordinary night
Same ol’ stars, the same ol’ moon up high
But when I see you standing at your door
Nothing’s ordinary anymore

[Chorus]
I get carried away by the look by the light in your eyes
Before I even realize the ride I’m on baby I’m long gone
I get carried away nothing matters but being with you
Like a feather flying high up in the sky on a windy day, I get carried away

[Chorus]
I get carried away by the look by the light in your eyes
Before I even realize the ride I’m on baby I’m long gone
I get carried away nothing matters but being with you
Like a feather flying high up in the sky on a windy day, I get carried away
